Kind of important considering that people who insist "the Jews" were Stalin's bosses are once again beginning to infest Free Republic.
Purim ping!

"the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century" -Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the collapse of the Soviet Union...
"World democratic opinion has yet to realize the alarming implications of President Vladimir Putin's State of the Union speech on April 25, 2005, in which he said that the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.'..."
"The more I see and read about Mr. Putin, in power since 1999, and his 'managed democracy,' the more apprehensive I become about the future of Russia and the safety of its neighbors.
If Putin believes that the dissolution of the Soviet Union into 15 independent states represents the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,' then it follows that Putin might well believe he should do something to repair the loss..."

"'The Black Book of Communism,'; a scholarly accounting of communism's crimes, counts about 94 million murdered by the supposed champions of the common man (20 million for the Soviets alone), and some say that number is too low."
Forgetting the Evils of Communism: The amnesia bites a little deeper

I’d always understood that he suffered a stroke in his bedroom and his aides were terrified to check on him because he was a late sleeper. By the time they found him it was too late and he died days later.
Even though He is hidden, it is all in His hands.
I had always understood the story about the stroke, but that some of Stalin’s deputies (including Krushchev) would not permit anyone to enter his room for a long time...and, just by coincidence, many of them were likely to have been put up against a wall and shot.
Alternate reports have him being poisoned, to prevent mass executions among the Soviet leadership, with the same intentional delay for doctors to have access to him.
Any way you cut it, this guy was EVIL.
In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.

I actually did not know this. Will tell my 2 older sons. Thanks for this. Appropriate today. We still need miracles and that was a fairly recent one. It provides me with a little hope.

“Any way you cut it, this guy was EVIL.”
He was. But two of Martin Luther King’s closest advisors, Stanley Levison and Hunter O’Dell, felt no qualms about belonging to the CPUSA while Stalin was its defacto leader. And that’s why Kennedy wiretapped him. Just a little sidelight on how Stalin was intertwined with American events.
The reason for this is because the first draft of history on communist tyranny was highly influenced by historians in academia who were communist sympathizers who may mau’ed more unbiased historians into using these well documented low ball numbers that not even communist sympathizers could dispute and had to accept as fact.
The real numbers of those murdered by Communists are actually much higher .
"Hillary's work for the Panthers won her a summer internship at the Berkeley office of attorney Robert Treuhaft in 1972. A hardline Stalinist, Treuhaft had quit the Communist Party in 1958 only because it was losing members and no longer provided a good platform for his activism. (7) "Treuhaft is a man who dedicated his entire legal career to advancing the agenda of the Soviet Communist Party and the KGB," notes historian Stephen Schwartz. (8)

Obama's Red Mentor Praised Red Army
AIM Report | By Cliff Kincaid | April 30, 2008
Barack Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA), wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. "Smash on, victory-eating Red Army," he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.
The "Red Army" poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:
Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

Great story!
Thanks much for the ping, ZC.

Yes, exactly - Very good.
Only problem is that Aish starts off the article with a concept straight out of Chabad Chassidus (that the holiday itself happens again every year) and then leaves out the Rebbe’s main, well-known and documented part (witnessed by thousands).
Alas, even in the Orthodox world, we have problems from the more liberal among us.
